Hi, I've taken the liberty to update this patch, and register it in the commitfest app to not lose track of progress [0].
The attached v8 patch measures scratch memory allocations (with MEMORY option), total time spent in serialization (with TIMING on, measures are inclusive of unseparated memcpy to the message buffer), and a count of produced bytes plus the output format used (text or binary). It's a light rework of the earlier 0007 patch, I've reused tests and some infrastructure, while the implementation details and comments have been updated significantly. I think we can bikeshed on format and names, but overall I think the patch is in a very decent shape. Stepan, thank you for your earlier work, and feel free to check it out or pick it up again if you want to; else I'll try to get this done. Kind regards, Matthias van de Meent [0] https://commitfest.postgresql.org/47/4852/
